The Department

In recent years, the School has made significant investments in its research capacity and strengths, both in terms of faculty and equipment. Since 2001, the School has doubled in size.

We have Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) recognition for all our Master’s programmes and BPS accreditation for our MSc programme Forensic Psychology.

Kent’s School of Psychology is also part of the ESRC South East Doctoral Training Centre (DTC), and therefore offers studentships to fund either (1+3) or (+3) research, as well as other scholarships offered by the School and University.

The School of Psychology at the University of Kent has established itself as a leading centre of research and teaching in theoretical and applied psychology and has a commitment to excellence in scientific research with a concern for problems of contemporary relevance focusing on four key areas: Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Forensic Psychology and Developmental Psychology.
